Beschreibung

This volume asks how Woolf conceptualized peace by exploring various experimental forms she created in response to violence and crisis. Across fifteen chapters written by an international array of scholars, this book draws out theoretical dimensions of Woolf's aesthetics and deepens our understanding of her writing about war, ethics, feminism and European culture.
